Today communication through an interpreter at authorities is a common phenomenon in Sweden because there are people living in the country who do not understand or speak the Swedish language. This paper focuses on the use of interpreters in the judiciary and how the interpreter misses in this occupation may threaten the rule of law. The purpose of this paper is to investigate if the current interpr
17 november 2025 12:00 till 13:15 | Föreläsning Social media provides researchers with valuable opportunities to connect and engage with a wide audience – from colleagues and experts to politicians, journalists, and decision-makers. The ways researchers use these platforms, as well as the benefits they gain, can vary greatly. You are warmly invited to a digital session where three Lund University
Inom identitetsforskning finns det olika definitioner av identitet. För att få en djupare förståelse för begreppet identitet, har jag valt att undersöka hur kosovoalbaner förhåller sig till sin identitet i ett svenskt samhälle. De empiriska uppgifterna samlades in genom kvalitativa semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Min analys baserades på begreppen identitet, tillhörighet och kultur. Baserat på det e

The Swedish shelter movement has on several occasions been disrupted due to bitter debates in the media. There appears to be a rift built in the movement. In this article I focus on the background to this by studying the formation of Stockholm's first shelter for women in the late 1970s. In the struggle to get financial support from the politicians it became clear that two different positions in t
Accessibility today has a contradictory character. One the one hand, people with disabilities are welcomed and included, with ambitious promises in policies and declarations. On the other hand, they are still excluded in everyday practices. This volume explores this contradiction in three areas: city and transport, knowledge and education, and law, institutions and history.

The capacity to get rid of excess heat produced during hard work is a possible constraint on parental effort during reproduction [heat dissipation limit (HDL) theory]. We released hard-working blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) from this constraint by experimentally removing ventral plumage. We then assessed whether this changed their reproductive effort (feeding rate and nestling size) and levels of
Twitter's open network structure enables us to quickly and easily share our political thoughts and views. But how well does social media provide an arena for a rich political conversation? The aim of this thesis is to provide knowledge about the digitized political dialogue, citizens' abilities to influence through public discussion and the conditions Twitter as a platform provides for an
This licentiate-thesis, Stories About a red Cottage, is an attempt to combine cultural theory with a didactic method applied to Swedish as a field of study. With the two notions intertextuality and the foreign as a starting point, I discuss the importance of how an idyllic view of Sweden affects students studying Swedish as a foreign language as part of their studies in Scandinavistics.

The minister responsible for youth policy, Nyamko Sabuni, presents in the preface of the Swedish Governments youth policy a dual picture of the living conditions for Swedish youth. On the one hand, the youth of today have greater possibilities than any previous generation, on the other hand, there are problems regarding both the economically- and healthcare situation among the youth. Many youth ar
13 april 2026 08:15 till 09:30 | Seminarium Welcome to a breakfast seminar focusing on whether we are going backwards or forwards in the energy transition. It will map progress and lessons learned during the last decade and discuss what is in store for the future. The energy system is undergoing a global shift; away from fossil fuels such as coal and gas, to renewable solar, wind and water power.

The interdisciplinary LU Network for Dynamic Systems Theory and Ecological Psychology (LUNDSTEP) aims to make visible, promote, and develop the theoretical, methodological, analytical, and practical implementations of Dynamic Systems Theory and Ecological Psychology.The network contains researchers, scholars, and students with interdisciplinarily varying interests, informed by principles from Dyna
Failures due to instability phenomena will happen suddenly and can cause the whole structure to collapse. It’s therefore in the engineer’s best interest to have a good knowledge about these phenomena. One example of instability phenomena is column buckling, which is the main focus of this thesis. The main cases that are being evaluated have a single brace in the middle of a timber column with hi
14 april 2026 08:15 till 09:30 | Seminarium Biodiversity is being depleted. When species disappear, it affects much more than nature itself – our food supply, our livelihoods, vital ecosystem services, future medical breakthroughs and places for recreation are all at stake. The loss of biodiversity is driven by several interacting forces. Habitats are being destroyed by changes in land use, climat

Good phylogenetic trees are required to test hypotheses about evolutionary processes. We report four new avian mitochondrial genomes, which together with an improved method of phylogenetic analysis for vertebrate mt genomes give results for three questions in avian evolution. The new nit genomes are: magpie goose (Anseranas semipalmata), ail owl (morepork, Ninox novaeseelandiae); a basal passerine
It is not your fault – family counsellors work with sexually abused children and youth. Sexual abuse is a global phenomenon, occurring at every level of society. Previous studies show that victims often tell their stories about sexual abuse in a counselling setting. Family counsellors were chosen as respondents due to the fact that they work with different types of treatment and counselling and t
Corruption is indisputably an immense obstacle for many developing countries in their endeavor to prosper economically. Zambia, a peaceful, politically stable democracy is still facing many of the problems connected with corruption. Corruption has so far mostly been measured on a state-level, but in our thesis we narrow the field of investigation down to the ministry-level. We use questionnaires t

Popular Abstract in English Consumption of multimedia content is one of the main tasks we perform in our day-to- day lives, such as listening to music on an iPod or watching the news from an online steaming service. As technology has evolved and enabled easier access to different content (basically access anything anywhere), our consumption has grown. In only the last decades we have evolved from Multimedia has become one of the cornerstones of our 21st century society and, when combined with mobility, has enabled a tremendous evolution of our society. However, joining these two concepts introduces many technical challenges. These range from having sufficient performance for handling multimedia content to having the battery stamina for acceptable mobile usage. When taking a projection of w
